a classic example is immigration reform. we have both democrats and republicans voting for a common sense bill that would strengthen our borders, fix the legal iimmn system, that would hold companies hiring in hiring undocumented workers and taking advantage of them. oh, by the way, we will deal with the 11 million people in the shadows right now. the majority of the american people think it's a good idea and republicans who think it's a good idea. the only thing that's stopping it at this point is what i mentioned earlier, a faction in the house republican party that is resistant. >> well, i think that there's so much focus on the politics of the base, and republicans being worried about getting challenged during the primary season that that inhibits a lot of cooperation that is there. and i actually think there's a bunch of republican who is want to get stuff done. they've got to be embarrassed. the truth of the matter is they've now been in charge of the house of representatives, one branch -- or one chamber in one branch
